The Bible Made Easy - For Kids

I received the Bible after a few days. Although it was supposed to be used, I found it in pristine condition. My son had outgrown his children's Bible (lots of pictures and a simplified story) and needed something a bit more in-depth, yet he's not ready for an adult Bible. So this was a good compromise. I would say this may be for a child of about 8-13 years. Just so that you know, it is all black and white inside. There are some pictures, a few tables and charts to make it more fun. The writing is bigger and it's full of good applications for a child's life.

Amazing book!

My boys and I study this together and it's Bible truths in simple but whole terms. I have got more than a dozen of this book for family and friends. Not only for children, adults can also use as a devotional.

Great Bible and very easy to understand. Simple and to the point.

Donated to children section of my church excellent

Thought it would be a bible, but was more of a summary of the chapter. My son enjoys reading from this and reads to his brothers too. A nice start to getting kid's into God's Word.

Amazing, easy to understand and written well with lovely pictures

This is a good handbook for children ministry it saves me hours of class preparation. And is so good for adults as well is a push up for adult to start a day topic or morning family discussion. I LOVE THIS BOOK

I am an adult and love this book. It’s easy to read and helps understand the main/key points of the bible and a good timeline. It has helped accompany me with my bible and teaching my children.

It’s easy to understand, good for the kids! Though I’m 25 and I’m not that good in english so this bible makes easier to understand hihi

I was trained as a parochial school teacher in a denomination that is very particular how Christian language is used and material is presented. I was afraid I could be wasting my money on material I shouldn't use in my VBS classroom. When I received the book, I found the stories in this year's curriculum and was pleased that all were included. Moreover, I carefully examined the points upon which my church finds friction with others. Everything I checked made me think this book had been printed by our own publishing house though it had not been. Teaching is clear and accurate about God's Word and how it teaches Christians to see Him. The presentation of salvation, of the lives of Christ, the Apostles, and the Church of the New Testament and the Families of the Old whose lives led to Christ's birth are presented well and with an appeal that will reach out to low and middle graders. As a former preschool teacher, I have no hesitation in thinking I could simplify it enough for preschoolers too. It is that well-written. The layout starts out as a Bible storybook. However, there are hints for simple crafts, charts, applicable Bible verses, everything a teacher could wish for in the way of lesson enhancements. Once the stories finish the gospels and Acts with Paul in Rome and all that he gladly suffers, his hardships are listed. The next section examines the epistles, explaining carefully what the letters were for, who wrote them, and why there can be numbers. The main points of each letter are developed and the doctrines presented are explained. Key Bible verses are highlighted and ideas that recur in other parts of the Bible are noted. Which takes us to Revelation. This one could be a deal breaker for many denominations. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the author simply set up what was being presented in the beginning of the book without interpretation. The material is laid out as written. Teachers of any denomination can present it with their own slant with no nudging one way or another from the author. That is very hard to pull off but I think he did it. I was very impressed. A well-thought-out index is useful, featuring charts and lists, maps, definitions and explanations, places, people, and special topics such as man, sin and salvation. It is anything but typical in that it is actually useful for someone searching for in-depth information, more than just a Bible story name. I am so pleased with this book, I am not going into this year's classes with the idea that this year is my last. I am reinvigorated. In fact, tonight I am going to compare what I have found in The Bible Made Easy to the little bit I have pulled together with my other materials. I've been procrastinating but now I am ready to dig in. My lessons are going to be so much better. The title should be updated. It is The Bible Made East—for Kids. Dave Strehler should make that —for Kids—and Teachers. I am one happy VBS teacher! I recommend this for teacher libraries but I also encourage churches to consider it for church libraries. If you are happy with it, think about putting a copy into each classroom. (I'm also a former school librarian. I'm telling you, this book is that good!)

Easy understanding

Thanks for the prompt delivery! Love the book
